Conheça os nossos embaixadores

Hey, My name is Veronika Kralova and I'm from the Czech Republic. I study at the Faculty of Law in Prague and I work at the Academy of Sciences at the Centre for Climate Law and Sustainability. I'm one of the founders of Mater Nostra, a University association that focuses on the climate crisis as well as feminism and LGBTQ+ rights.

I am environmental advocate and civic activist based in Riga, Latvia. 
Waste incineration is one of the most controversial questions in Europe’s waste and climate policy.
For too long, it’s been sold as a quick fix to shrink landfills and produce energy. But the truth is clear: pollutes the environment, fuels climate change, and diverts us from real solutions like reduction, reuse, and recycling. 
People need to hear about the alternatives and why incineration belongs to the past.

I act as a vice-rector for International Cooperation at Bialystok University of Technology and a Head of Department of Sustainable Construction and Building Systems. I focus on international and interdisciplinary projects related to sustainable development of the building and energy sectors, green infrastructure and continuous changes in cities. I am actively engaged in actions addressed at the young generations in solution areas helpful in the fight against climate change. I plan future projects and publications in this area as well as organisation of and participation in various events, including conferences, workshops and discussion panels that create platforms that are indispensable for sharing information, experiences and the creation new ideas. I believe that working together in an interdisciplinary and international environment, we will achieve our intended goals.

As a former youth politician, architect, philosopher, and most recently professor of Life and Society, I have a wide range of academic, political, scientific and professional experiences and knowledge on the topics of sustainable development. I pursue an inter- and multidisciplinary approach that is driven by the passion to analyse and understand complex topics and design meaningful solutions to these challenges. I was also chairman of numerous associations and initiatives, a member of many national and international high state councils, and a Luxembourg representative at numerous political and academic conferences.

My planned activities as a climate ambassador, in addition to cooperative and international exchange with other ambassadors, are lobbying and raising awareness for social and political sustainability concepts and the development of information and motivation strategies for necessary, sustainable transformation processes.

Climate change is a challenge and a chance at the same time. I strongly believe that a better world is possible and everyone need to take action. This is the reason why I want to spread awareness, and interact with people all around the globe.

I am particularly interested in sustainable development, circular economy, and cradle to cradle.

I have been working on sustainable energy and climate for more than 20 years. As Director of the Energy and Climate Agency, I advise and plan actions to help people make the green transformation. Being an operational person, I took up the challenge of becoming Mayor of the municipality six years ago.  Municipalities are making the green transition happen. I integrate climate change mitigation and adaptation into every municipal project. My goal is respect for people and nature.

I am an expert in sustainability with over 14 years of experience in the textile industry. I believe collectively we can change how the industry operates, therefore I decided to join Fashion Revolution Poland as a Board Member in 2025. Through my work I try to inspire and spark a positive change towards a better future where our decisions are more conscious, were we produce less and use things for longer.

I am journalist by profession. After 10 years experience in reporting on environmental topics, I changed my career to the non-governmental sector and became the project manager of aclimate awareness raising project, based on gamification methods. It was a job I felt very passionate about, because in my daily life I try to  minimise my personal impact on the climate: I live without a car or driving license, I refuse to fly (for international travels, I take trains), my diet is vegetarian and I am a passionate clothes and things swapper. I am really pleased to join others who also fight for a greener, more natural environment and see what we can do together. 

I am a political activist and the youngest MP in Estonia. Environment and nature have been close to my heart all my life. I am convinced that solving and mitigating the climate crisis starts with policy. We need more political courage in this world to drive change!

In my role as a Climate Pact Ambassador, I wish to bring a focus on climate education and climate policy in order that, especially young people gain more awareness on how policy can shape the future.

I clearly see the polarisation between climate activists and politicians. For this I am dedicated to building a bridge so we can finally start to work together as one and not oppose to each other.

Endless economic growth, treating nature just as a resource, and living at the expense of future generations cannot continue – every year we set a new record of pushing the planetary boundaries. I stand for an ambitious and internationally enforceable climate policy, ensuring a sustainable life for present and future generations.
